Griffith Observatory

Griffith Observatory — Art Deco Vision

This Los Angeles architecture print of the Griffith Observatory presents its iconic Art Deco design in minimalist black and white. Perched on Mount Hollywood, this monument offers a unique blend of scientific purpose and public accessibility. Designed by architects John C. Austin and Frederick C. Kennedy, with conceptual contributions from Russell W. Porter, the observatory opened in 1935. Its distinctive domes and geometric forms are hallmarks of the Art Deco style, making it a celebrated piece of monument architecture. This Griffith Observatory wall art captures the structure's imposing presence against the Los Angeles sky.
